Meals

The program offers a partial meal plan.

• All students receive 11 meals per week. 

  • This includes breakfast 7 days per week and lunch Monday through Thursday.

• Breakfast is continental (rolls, coffee, jam, yogurt, croissants, etc.) and served in the dining hall.

• Lunches are also served in the dining hall at Casa Publicii and are served family-style, generally consisting of a meat, pasta, bread, vegetables, and fruit. Students are expected to help with cleaning up the tables after lunch in the dining hall. If there are leftovers after lunch, students are encouraged to use a food storage container to put in the refrigerator to eat as a snack or dinner. Students will be issued a container at orientation.

• Dinners and weekends: Students are responsible for arranging their own meals. Restaurant prices typically range from approximately 15 to 30 euros, depending on the location and choice of dish.

• There is a microwave, refrigerator, a coffee machine and a water fountain for students to use at the convent.

• Please contact the Study Away Advisor regarding any dietary needs if you did not list them in your post-acceptance information. The staff will accommodate dietary needs for daily breakfast and lunch, as well as during outings or weekend trips. 

• If you have friends visiting you, they may not eat a meal on campus without asking permission from the Resident Assistant and paying for it. You will learn how to make this request from our staff in Rome.
